Sh*t yes I knew something was off with that. A few posts back I said that new starting time from the fall is 1900 CET and I suppose I should have written "as of right now" instead , sorry about that. Corrected it everywhere and thought I had covered all the bases but obviously I hadnt. My apologies.

Next race will be posted on the new forum , we will start a new practice server on a new track. Probably RA now that Olaf has that sorted out. Also on gplweekly and our league site.

Hi, KZ... Yes, a pity to have missed the test race. In future, it might be best to nominate a start time for server practice and include the actual race start as a separate notation.

I tested earlier offline and was mystified to find why my gear ratios were changing on their own. ??? This had not occurred with Kyalami. The set refused to accept my ratio nominations. From setting them in the menu, simply dropping into pit lane then immediately returning to the menu two seconds later without doing a thing was enough to cause the glitch. From what I set, changing to top gear was now actually a shorter ratio. Revs to the Moon! LOL! I was on the server a couple of hours earlier with Pelle and while my connection via VROC was good, the gear thingie was still occurring. Was this not mentioned as a weird problem in an earlier post?

Yes this gear issue was mentioned and if I remember correctly it had something to do with race set up and current set up. If the race set up is set to default or something like that. Not sure but Olaf knows.

Ok , so things are working pretty good it seems. Server runs smooth and the patch works well and as intented.

We have time for one more test before summer plans starts to kick in so next thursday we race @ Solitude. This to test the track as its kind of sensitive to disconnects and such so we wanna make sure people have no problems with this particular track.

So thursday 28th of june , 1900 CET @ VROC. 12 laps on Solitude.

After that we will leave a practice server running as much as possible over the summer.

A question regarding the surfaces on which the patch will take affect. Given that running off onto a dirt-mapped surface will cause a lack of grip for a short while, is there any reduction in adhesion for running off onto grass? I mention this for some circuits...Aintree in particular in the Melling Cross complex...where it is oh so easy to carve off gobs of time by running through the grass.

There is not really a difference in the amount of decreasing of grip between sand and grass, in both cases the grip obvious will be reduced for the affected wheels.

I know some people wont use pribluda. But if you will be sure if the slippering of the car is provoced by dirt effect or not you can see it exactly if you would install my special pribluda version, see ReadMe.
Yellow value = tire dirty
Green value = tire clean
